The hat was made from a foam Zorro hat we found for $5. I simply glued up one side of the hat with a hot glue gun to get the Musketeer shape.

The sword was cut out from some 1/8" plastic sheet. The sword blade has notches cut into for the handle guard. The guard gets slots cut into it and then it is bent and slid over the sword blade and glued with a glue gun. I covered the sword blade with aluminum tape but silver spray paint would work just as well. I wrapped the handle with electrical tape but it's not really necessary.

That's it! The nice thing about this is that it can be worn over a coat for those cold Halloween nights.
